What is the ruling on listening to narrations that have no basis in Islamic law, and which are attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, such as the Prophet slaughtering a she-camel for Khadijah and holding a mourning ceremony for her, or the narration: "I am the tree and Ali is its trunk...", or the story of the Jew who embraced Islam due to the miracle of the tree, or the story of Uthman ibn Affan with the man whom he accused of adultery through his discernment?
The mentioned accounts about the death of Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), the story of the tree, the story of the Jew, and what was narrated about Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) with the man—all of these are false, fabricated, and have no basis. It has been authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in other narrations that he summoned some trees and they obeyed him, and this is among the proofs of prophethood, as stated in Muslim. This differs from the accounts mentioned by the fabricators. A preacher should fear Allah and remind people only with Quranic verses and authentic hadiths. It has been authentically reported from him (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "Whoever narrates a from me, and he thinks that it is a lie, then he is one of the two liars," and "Whoever says about me what I have not said, let him prepare his seat in the Hellfire."
